If you are not going to do chemo, please ask for a combination of 1/2 cc Dexamethasone and 1/2 cc depomedrol. They are both strong steroids. The first works within hours and is out of the system in 24 hours, the second takes a few days to kick in, so they work well together. They shrink lymphoma

Do you mean RBC are low? That's red blood cells. If they are high, he is not anemic.   People have had a lot of luck with Epogen or Immuno-Regulin, combined with steroids and doxicycline, for anemia.  I-R has helped at least one cat on this list with low WBC as well. Michelle   In a message date
